I first became aware of Shannon Job's talent via posts on Facebook. The posts introduced depictions of her work. I was specifically captivated by an acrylic, free hand, painting of a Japanese samurai. Intrigued by the intensity of her representation, I requested that she paint a drawing for me along similar lines. The results were amazing. Remarkably intuitive, unexpectedly provocative, and unbelievably reflective, for me, on a spiritual on level. All the more incredible for never having met, in person. Ms. Job is an immensely talented, empathic artist; I highly praise and recommend. -Joseph E. Roberts, Jr.
I am an avid outdoors-man and hunter, I have always had a great appreciation for wildlife. Having seen the gorgeous artwork Shannon is capable of, I didn't hesitate to request something I could possible hang in my sporting goods store. After receiving my canvas piece of a buffalo, I couldn't possibly hang it in my store because I wanted it for my own home. It is now the centerpiece of my living room. - Adam Scepaniak (The Mender of The Sacred Loop)
I love Shannon's work because the first thing I see and feel in it is freedom. - Reginald T. Dorsey
When I look at the (The Trail Marker) it makes me feel peaceful and content. I love the way the sun shines through the trees and gives light to the darkness of the woods. It reminds me of walks I have taken and places I have been that made me feel relax and happy. ( I don't relax much, so this painting takes me there) Thank you. I love it. - Jennifer Butkowski
Shannon has the rare gift of being able to draw from her relationship with her spirit, transfer it to blank paper, and create spiritual art. Very impressive and inspiring! Thank you, Shannon, for sharing your spirit with us. - Larry Pourier
The warrior you carried into battle now walks on the the other side. You will walk with his spirit into the next battle and the next, until your time comes. Then you will meet and begin again. - Travis Hirt (War Horse)
When my husband passed away in June of 2010, I felt as though my world was spinning out of control. I often sat on the side of the bed just to steady myself before I could actually get out of bed. After approximately 2 1/2 years I was just beginning to see clearly as the fog lifted when I was attacked by a disease called Polymyalgia (which attacks muscles and joints and is very painful). It was difficult to roll over and get out of bed because the pain in my shoulders and hips was so excruciating. It took two years for me to fight, regain my strength and get my life back. A life that I had shared with my husband for so many years of riding horses and competing in various shows and rodeos. When I saw the print that was created by Shannon Job entitled: The American Indian War Horse, it immediately gripped me in my innermost being and I could feel the power and strength of that horse. I communicated with that horse. We were separate warriors united by the struggle to survive and be victorious. Every time I look at it I am reminded of how fierce God made me. I may experience fear from time to time but the courage inside me always rises to the occasion. Thank you Shannon Job for touching this warriors heart with your gift from God. -Jean Barefield (War Horse)
When I first saw The War Horse, my first thought was " A warrior horse that went through an incredible trial in life and the warrior horse survived, so can I. The colors caught my eye in a bold strong way. I could feel the love Shannon put into her art. Her soul is within. Not sure if it was what what she was enduring, but I do know I struggle daily. I am blessed to wake up each morning and take a breath. If I wake, I kiss the pillows and I smother my grandson (12 year old) in hugs and we thank our creator I am here one more day with him. In 2012 my health ordeals began and two days after my 1st surgery, I had to take custody of my grandson. Each year I get a new diagnosis, but I am still here. And I am still laughing and have the best time with my amazing grandson; he is so spiritual and loving. We are happy! So the print brought up good feelings! it reminds me of all I had to endure and I survived like the Warrior Horse in Shannon's print!" - Kay Abbie (War Horse)
